I want to set it up to with the amount of skill points you currently have, for example, I have 45, I want to use all 45 or however amount I want, and I get 100 + stat for each skill points I have.

Use_your_skillpoints()             
    alert("Here you can use your skill points to boost your stats! You gain 100 + stat for each skillpoint you have!")
    switch(input("What stat do you want to boost?") in list ("Str","Def","Pow","Con","Cancel"))
        if("Str")
                
            alert("How much do you want to put?")
            var/T = input(usr,"How much influence for Str?","Str") as num // This creates a var within the function.
//Var 'T' would equal whatever your input is, under the alert
            if(src.skillpoint>=1)// if your skill points is more than 1
                src.skillpoint-= T // subtract by the amount input is
                src<<"<b><font color=><b>You have boosted your Str!"
                src.str+= T * 100// give the amount of strength based off your input
            if(src.skillpoint==0)return


A simple thought. Not compiled, and you have to fix indentation. One error I foresee is that you can put an obscene amount of skill points and make your 'skillpoint' var go into the negative. Apply a check to make sure this doesn't happen.

LOL. Skimmed, but it seems to work. But don't you think that's a bit too clever with the coding for someone that seems new-ish?
